gollark: Indeed. I think we may be slightly reinventing XMPP, but XMPP is beeoid due to it being overly "extensible".
gollark: - better interserver capability than IRC's weird tree thing
gollark: osmarksdecentralizedchatoid™ featuring:- approximately IRCous design instead of the matrix state synchronisation one - channels belong to a particular server which manages history and permissions and such- global accounts looking somewhat like email addresses. Or maybe they're just public keys and people have to something something web of trust the actual name.- end to end encryption option for small private channels
